So you don't believe that the earth was the purpose of creation? That idea turns the first chapter of Genesis on it's head.

But to think that it is the only purpose of creation? Isn't that quite a kind of hubris?

"But to think that it is the only purpose of creation? Isn't that quite a kind of hubris?"

Reading skills? - The purpose of creation is clearly stated to be man, not the earth. The earth is simply the point of incubation, and scheduled for destruction, along with the rest of the material universe in the comparatively near future. Hubris? Makes no sense whatsoever. If you want to know what God's word says, you have to read it.
